Fedora Log Files
Packages which generate log files should write out their logfiles in a package-specific (and package owned) directory under %{_localstatedir}/log. Unless the software being packaged rotates its own logs, it must also ship a logrotate config file to rotate its log file(s).
Logrotate config file
Logrotate config files should be named in a way that matches the daemon/software which is generating the logs, which is usually (though not always) the same name as the package. When unsure, use "%{name}.conf". These files must be placed in %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d, and should use standard file permissions (0644) and ownership (root:root).
Since these are config files, they must be marked as %config(noreplace) in the %files list.
Example minimal logrotate config file
/var/log/example/*log { missingok # If the log file is missing, go on to the next one without issuing an error message notifempty # Don't do any rotation if the logfile is empty compress # Compress older files with gzip delaycompress # Don't compress yesterdays files }
